Over the latest years due to the emergency of new requirements in the area of healthcare domain, the software to data cloud model attracted significant attention by bridging the gap between cloud service deployment and sensitive data storage and manipulation. In particular, in FI-STAR FP7 we develop innovative cloud services for the healthcare domain using the FIWARE platform. This offers new opportunities for building innovative applications that utilize FIWARE Generic Enablers as the building blocks of Future Internet (FI) applications. In this work we focus on (a) the automatic migration requirements in FIWARE systems and (b) on the automatic shipment and deployment of FI-STAR services among service providers infrastructures that is the FIWARE cloud nodes and service consumer infrastructures (FI-STAR use cases). We describe the design and implementation enabling the automatic shipment and deployment to support the software to data paradigm and to allow marketplace development of the FI-STAR catalogue. The deployment automation solution offers less error-prone and highly repeatable processes, efficient deployment and management of updates and new releases.
